Do you think the Titans will move on from Levis?

^Yeah it'd be a risk. I thought of him as more of a "game manager" at Michigan. But teams loved him in last year's draft. I said above the Patriots need a QB but I forgot they drafted Drake Maye. He could be pretty good. But if I was a Raiders fan at No. 6 and you know Sanders and Ward aren't there, I'd be OK with trading for McCarthy and potentially getting a franchise QB on a rookie deal. I'd want no part of a retread like Aaron Rodgers, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson or whatever shell of a free agent QB is still out there.

Darnold probably cost himself some money tonight. If he drops another turd in their playoff game, they may keep McCarthy instead of signing Darnold to a monster extension.
 
With the Titans going to have a top three pick, it would seem likely that Levis is probably done with the Titans after this season and probably done as starter everywhere.

I think he’s last as a starter in passing yards and went 12 TDs and 12 picks in 11 games.
as fast as they can
 
The only reason they might not be is because the QB class for this year seems pretty weak. They might want to wait one more year. However, I think many want to move on from Levis.

You never know in the NFL. Baker Mayfield was hated in Cleveland and was a good QB in Tampa this year. Cleveland still hasn't been able to make a QB look good..Callahan might have a good offense some day, but I can't believe that they didn't have competence on the right side of the line. Pre-season rankings had their right tackle as the worst starter in the league and he didn't disappoint..
Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, you can even add Jared Goff. Sometimes it is better to sit and learn, than thrown to the wolves and have to survive. Titans can keep shuffling the deck at QB, until they get a line that can protect him, the deck will keep getting shuffled. They are horrible EVERYWHERE, so if I am the Titans, maybe trade for more picks, or draft Hunter and see if he can play 2 positions. Sign a temporary fix this off season, wait until a more solid QB draft. They are a ways away, so they will be in the "lotto" draft range for a while. I do not think Sanders nor Ward or can't miss picks. But then again, people bashed the hell out of Denver for taking Nix, and even more so Atlanta for drafting Penix after signing Cousins.

Just as important as sitting and learning is getting the right fit. All those guys became only successful after finding a better fit. For Mayfield and goff the change was almost immediate. Levis doesn't fit with this Callahan offense and Callahan cant/wont modify it.

On the flip side Levis needs to be more coachable and retain coaching. When you hear him talk about getting bored with making the basic play, thats insanely concerning. His loose cannon turnovers are beyond inexcusable. He absolutely must learn to take what they give him and move the chains. Not everything has to be a big play.

Many QBs fall into the trap of not taking what the defense is giving. I forget which talking head said it about Brady but he said the thing that made him special was he'd take the 4-yard checkdown 20 plays in a row if that's all the defense would give him. And literally no other HOF QB would do the same.

Levis needs to get over himself. If he wants to stay in the league, he needs to execute the boring plays that move the chains and eventually put points on the board. A boring swing pass for 3 yards and a TD counts just as much as the 55-yard go pattern that the QB lays in between double coverage for the highlight TD. Mahomes is very good about taking the short gimme throws 90% of the time before doing something extraordinary. Levis either learns that or has a very short career in the NFL.
